Sunset cruise in Barbados
The main activities people think of when visiting the Caribbeans include swimming, tanning, eating delicious food and enjoying a refreshing drink on the beach. So what about doing all of the above but on a boat sailing on the turquoise waters? You are in? Great, keep reading! We had done a sunset cruise before in Santorini…

Obidos, Portugal
Probably one of our favourite places we visited during our stay in Portugal, Obidos is the most picturesque fortified town. The quaint traditional houses, the narrow cobbled streets reminded me a lot of Paraty in Brazil. I just love the Portuguese architecture with the white houses and their colourful trims. Obidos is only an hour…

4 days in Lisbon
Lisbon had been on my list for a long time and, to be perfectly honest, I am not sure what took me so long to visit! In the recent years, Lisbon has become a very trendy destination. The weather is good, prices are affordable, the food and bar scenes are excellent and there are some decent sights…

Restaurante Funky – Ericeira, Portugal

On our first evening out of Lisbon, we headed north-west to the Atlantic coast and decided to spend a few days in the Torres Vedras region. The owner of Vila Louro recommended we grab dinner at Restaurante Noah in Santa Cruz which was only a 10-minutes drive from where we were staying. Unfortunately, it was already dark when…

Lx Factory – Lisbon, Portugal
Some places are so unique that it hard to describe them! This is the case for Lx Factory, in Lisbon. Lx Factory is not a restaurant, not a food market, not a bar, not a shop or an art gallery… Lx Factory is all of the above! Nested under the 25 de Abril bridge, Lx Factory used to…

Vila Louro – Torres Vedras, Portugal
When we plan our vacations, we like to find places to stay which are comfortable, with a boutique feel, and reasonably priced. With my obsession with interior design, I am also a sucker for nicely decorated spaces. This is why we decided to stay at Vila Louro, for a few days during our trip to Portugal.…
